Yellow umbrellas on Grace Bay Beach

– vivid blue of sky and turquoise sea with the white sands of Grace Bay Beach. Grace Bay on Providenciales, or Provo as it’s often called, in the Turks and Caicos Islands regularly shows up on lists of the world’s best beaches, and there’s a good reason for that! It is spectacular. Here, bright yellow umbrellas shade white lounge chairs near the Alexandra Resort, but the beach is a 12 mile stretch of soft, powdery white sand.

Although the Turks and Caicos are on the outer edges of the Caribbean, the weather is tropical and the water warm and very, very clear. It’s not only yellow umbrellas on Grace Bay Beach – there are red, blue and many others! See more Turks and Caicos images
